Kuger's paydirt reveals MORE than gold!

Kuger! I put the black sands from your paydirt under my mineral scope. So far, I have found one of the pieces of flour, VERY VERY small, to be CRYSTALINE! Right next to it, a perfect hexagonal quartz crystal, too small to see with the unaided eye. Pointed at both ends. PERFECT! The BIGGEST (sorry about the caps.... really excited) discovery is a METEORITE in the mess! Just a micrometeorite, but an M, just the same. TOO small to see without the scope but a perfect sphere. WOW! Great day in the morning! I will try to take a pic of these things but have to find the power source for the scope/camera first. Looking for more surprises in the meantime. TTC

Hey There "Investigator TerryC",
I'm looking forward to seeing pictures of your finds in Kuger's BS (sorry I could not resist that) or Black Sand. Also would you pass along some info on your scope/camera outfit maybe even a picture of it/them.....63bkpkr

Here, 63. $1400 dollars about 10 years ago. Cheaper ones today. The three "goodies are in the flour, in the black pan. Soon! Tnx. TTC

Edit: Scope is still being sold by National Optical and Scientific Equipment in Texas. I may need to buy another power source from them. Herb, they want $75 for the power source. That's SEVENTY FIVE! for a little proprietary power source! OUCH! TTC

If a meteorite is so small that it is very nearly weightless, it becomes a sphere up above the earth as it heats to incandesense. AS it cools to become hardened, it retains the sphere till it floats to earth weeks to years later. Google up MICROMETEORITES to see how easy they are to collect. Even around your house! The SMOKE emitted from an entering extraterrestrial body is full of them. TTC

Some can be a mm across. Most will be smaller...... and absolutely round. A good place to find them is in parts of the nation that have periodic rain. Find them in the dirt below the rain spout that goes down the side of your building from the roof. GooGle up Micrometeorites to learn how easy to collect! TTC

I have collected hundreds of micrometeorites over the years (change that to ALMOST all are perfect spheres) some will have a teardrop shape. Collect dirt from right under a rain spout from a house. Long, flat roofs of industrial buildings are best, if the rainspout pours to the ground and not into the sewer system. Put a magnet into a baggie. Push it through the dry dirt to collect specimens. Put the baggie over a collecting bowl. Pull the mag out of the bag to drop your STUFF into the bowl. Now find your piece of the heavens! I took a picture of four small one that I had. One was a stone, not magnetic, that included a fusion crust! Even that small, some will show a fusion crust with cracks. I sent the pic to Robert Haag, the ORIGINAL Meteorite Man in AZ. He confirmed my rocks to be meteorites. He signed one of his books I bought and sent it back. He signed it TERI. Ouch! His wife is also a Teri (not Terry). That is how I know these are the real deal!

Using my small Cyber Shot camera, at the scope lens, I was able to take these "second best" pics, till I get the scope camera going. Pic one is the crystal gold "chevron", if you will. I have only known of chevron gold at Rye Patch, NV. I know it is in lots of places... just rare. The second pic is of THE ROCK! A micrometeorite. It is partially obscurred by a piece of black sand. It is smaller than the period at the end of this sentence. I could not find the quartz crystal this morning. Nor could I find a piece of micro-gold STUCK to a nice SMALL piece of black sand. Will post those when found. (unless I get calls to stop posting them! Ha ha! TTC

I have the full-sized 16 meg pics for those interested. TTC

Ok. Two more and I'll give you guys a break... Another piece of crystal gold (from Kuger's dirt). The second pic is pyrite in host rock (not from the dirt). Better pics coming when this scope gets power. TTC

WOW!!!!Terry,I am thrilled and sick!!Do you know how much black sand from there I have thrown away?Many,many lbs!!!!!I have never wanted to mess with roating em.Good news is I have two five gallon buckets of black sand......make me an offer bud
